Guys, my factory steel wheels are starting to show some rust behind the hubcaps, just minor surface rust but looks crappy. Has anyone painted them, if so do i need to use a high temp paint or just a rattle can of black? I have factory hub caps so it doesnt need to be pretty but just didnt know if a pressure can of regular paint would burn off or somethign because of the heat from the brakes ?

just prep the surface and use a basic paint. I just did mine with some black Rustoleum.

PlasticDip. Just clean the surface, it can peel out too when wanted. Google it, you'll see.
